The Ghost Who Wanted a Child

By: Werner Stejskal

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Millie has been haunted by dreams of a girl who died long ago. When she discovers that Miranda—young, pregnant, and buried in the historic East Perth Colonial Cemetery—may be the source of her nightly torment, she and her husband begin a journey that will change their lives forever. What begins as an investigation into the past becomes something far more intimate. Millie believes Miranda’s spirit cannot rest—because she never had the chance to be a mother. When Millie becomes pregnant, the haunting changes. Through birth, early motherhood, and the fragile exhaustion of new parenthood, Millie lives not only with her newborn daughter—but with the presence of a young woman from another century. A spirit who only wanted to experience what was taken from her. Is Miranda real? Is she a projection of grief across generations? Or is love strong enough to cross time itself? Tender, unsettling, and ultimately uplifting, this story explores motherhood, unfinished lives, and the quiet ways the past weaves itself into the present. Some souls do not haunt us. They ask to be remembered.
